No Buy July!

Having gone through my makeup collection extensively the past week, I've decided to go on a 'No Buy July' challenge (which includes not buying necessities such as makeup remover and brush cleansers, since I have loads of deluxe samples to go through.) As an avid supporter of both Sephora stores and Sephora.com, this might be difficult, but I'm still determined .

My goal is to make it through the entire month of July without any purchases, and if possible, until my birthday in August.

If any of you beautyholics are also planning on a No Buy July, please comment below (and help each other through the next month-ish! )

Re: No Buy July!

But you don't get 100 pts for buying the bag, I think. You get it for going to a store that has the Skin IQ setup and having a consultation. At least that's how I read it -- two separate things. And it looks like only the really big stores have those (Prudential seems to be the only one I'm seeing in MA/NH/RI). They seem like two separate things. (So you could get the consult and not spend much money -- it does say any purchase or spend $35 and get the bag without the Skin IQ.)

Definately on a no necessity no buy. I went through my make up a few weeks back and gave an entire huge dump bag full of make up away to my little cousin cuz I just couldn't use cuz of irritation or didn't look right. And I gave her a couple Tarte pallets that I was not impressed with. Made me little ill when I tallied up the amount of money I basically gave away. Yes, I could have returned after I bought it but I never feel right returning products I've used and should have known better than to buy to begin with. Like blue eyes shadow, I know that's not a color for me! or glitter liner. Any who, I am on punishment until I make better purchasing decisions. I have a kid starting college next month so I need to save anyway.

I feel bad about returning items as well! It's one thing if it's not the right foundation shade, but it's a different story if it was a regret purchase. Tarte pressed eyeshadows are not exactly my favorite. Their cream shadows, on the other hand, are AWESOME! Hooray for jumping on the No Buy wagon!
